Taranis
Taranis is an AI crop intelligence platform using computer vision and submillimeter drone imagery to detect weeds, disease and nutrient deficiencies at leaf level for farmers and agricultural retailers.
Taranis is an agricultural technology company that builds an AI-powered crop intelligence platform for farmers, agronomists and agricultural retailers. Founded in 2015, it applies computer vision and deep learning to submillimeter-resolution drone imagery, producing leaf-level insights across every acre. Raw aerial data is converted into actionable information on crop threats - among them weeds, disease, insect damage and nutrient deficiencies - before these cause yield loss, with insights delivered within 24 hours of imagery capture.
The company's technical work spans artificial intelligence, computer vision, deep learning, image processing, aerial imagery analysis, precision agriculture and data analytics. A central asset is a proprietary imagery library of more than 500 million data points, which underpins detection models and supports the platform's coverage claims. The product is aimed at farm production, agronomy and crop advisory services, and agricultural retail.
Taranis maintains its global headquarters in Westfield, Indiana, with additional presence in Brazil and Tel Aviv, Israel. The firm traces its roots to Israeli startup culture and was established by four friends motivated by the difficulties facing rural and agricultural communities. Its stated focus is on precision, data-driven insight and the ground-truth confidence required by crop advisers working amid climate uncertainty.
